Amazing model, but with weaknesses
Had a great time building this and found it both engaging and at times challenging! There are two side panels on each side of the Sawtooth's neck that came off more times than I can count, which was quite frustrating. But the biggest issue - and something others have already mentioned - is the instability of the front joints. In the end I had to keep them positioned fairly straight underneath the body so they wouldn't keep buckling (which in turn kept popping off the side panels, a vicious cycle). Solutions for being able to lock the joints after posing or replacing them with parts that are more weight-bearing would greatly improve this build, so something to keep in mind for future/replacement runs!
Most Surprising Thing
The many ways the model can be posed - though this is currently curtailed by the instability of the front joints

Improve sturdiness of front joints and side panels
Cool little Grazer
Fun little build that took only an hour or so but was a good preview for the more demanding sets!
First build of the amazing set
I really loved this build, and it being my first was amazing. Good way to start this amazing set. It looks so accurate to source material and love all the posablility of it.

Nice simple build, but fun
I really enjoyed this little grazer. It looks just like the one from the game. Love that it can balance very well on its little legs, was worried at the start. But it stands nicely and is quite posable.

Amazing Grazer!!
This was my first build from the Complete Edition of the Creator Set, and so far I am thoroughly impressed. The instructions are easy to access, easy to follow, and the brick quality is just like building with actual Lego. I would not be able to tell the difference at all. The final product looks amazing (excuse my terrible photography skills), and is posable to a certain degree while still maintaining its integrity. I cannot wait to build the rest of the figures, and will absolutely be keeping my eyes peeled for any future releases. I can absolutely confirm that these guys are legit, and make an excellent product.

Stability
Great little build
Looks great, fairly easy to put together too.
Most Surprising Thing
How stable the final build is despite the tiny feet
Looks great but temperamental during build
The final build looks great, but I struggled a lot during the build with the chest side pieces repeatedly falling off. It is also a bit tricky to find a pose that doesn't cause the front leg joints to collapse. Overall speaking it feels quite fragile, but looks really nice.

Trumpeting on the Scene
This is now the biggest build in terms of pieces in my collection and it was fun the whole way. There were a few small hiccups during the build process, but overall the end result is fantastic.
Most Surprising Thing
The sturdiness of the build and the weight.
Good quality but very fragile
I enjoyed the building process and the sawtooth looks amazing! But I did run into issues while trying to display it. Even just standing normally it would always slide and fall. When I did manage to get it to stand, the slightest bump to my shelf would make it collapse. (My house is old and unstable, so just walking near the shelf makes it wobble slightly). At one point I went to pick it back up and it completely fell apart into 4 pieces (hard to see in photo but the front legs/shoulders were detached as well). I eventually decided I'd just super glue the whole build because the leg joints were so weak and trying to manipulate it made everything else fall apart. After this extra stability I was able to make a more dynamic pose to go along with my Aloy figure as shown. I didnt want to rate this 3 star because i know it's a first release and you're still working things out. But maybe the other builds I have completed inflated my expectations a bit, so I'm giving a four star.

As always, detail. These blow regular lego way out of the water!
HUGE! And an amazing build
To start off, I loved building the Tallneck! I had so much fun building it and it took my mind off exams and stress of life. A total 10/10, especially for a first drop Overall, very happy with this and cant wait to dive into the other machines. You guys are truly master builders and I cant wait to see what else you come up with!

Huge upgrade
As one who has the official Lego Sawtooth set, this model surpasses it in nearly every way! There are a few issues here and there, but overall, this set is perfect for anyone who likes the Horizon series!

Incredible Build!
Not sure if anyone else has powered through them all yet but just finished the big 3 and I have to say... what an incredible experience. Firm believer that nothing is perfect and this set isn't but the value, quality, and experience are second to nothing i have personally experienced. Exactly what I could've wished for form this set, and for it being a first run am blown away how well everything came together. I'd have to give a 95/100. The Bad: As mentioned in the updates some of the plastic flexible tubes/hoses are a bit problematic. one size didn't fit at all (let them know and they said are already working on solution) in addition to the issues spoken to in the substack already. Actually amazed with the high part count the quality control is impressive but not perfect. Hesitate to even put this in the bad cause it should be praised more than anything but there was a missing piece for the tallneck but honestly, of 21000 pieces having one somewhat significant piece be missing is amazing (seen worse quality control from LEGO directly). Some of the design elements do feel a bit flimsy or not as well attached as they should be. the foundational structures are rock solid but a lot of the shell/outer armor of the models are only connected with 2 or 3 studs and can very easily pop off but once the sets are placed I'm not moving them any time soon so not a huge deal for me. There were a couple sections in the instructions where the pieces that are being shown to be added don't line up with the main part you're attaching it to (specifically remember from the tremortusk set). Not as if its showing the incorrect placement but like the part is shown to clip through the main assembly and not attached through anything but the actual placements are relatively simple to figure out, just had me scratching my head a couple times. The Great: The way the pieces were separated out per section and bags was genius. Thought it was overwhelming how many bags were a part of each section at first but really appreciated how well thought out it was with mirrored pieces in different bags so I don't feel crazy reaching for the same piece over and over grabbing the wrong side version, just look in the next bowl. Detail of the sets is incredible. Build experience and thoughtfulness of the instructions was a very pleasant surprise I expected far worse but it was very clear and understandable for how complex the models are. After having tunnel vision on each set for days on end being able to step back and see the monster come to life is truly breathtaking. By far and away the most incredible set, collection, build, and project I've taken on in this Realm and absolutely adored it. some parts of the builds were a struggle (my fault) but that just made it all the most satisfying to complete. I can't say enough great things about this build. My fingers might need a break after finishing everything.

Amazing detail!
This build has a very impressive level of detail to the machine from the Zero Dawn game, and it makes me super excited to start working on the rest! The quality of the bricks was better than I expected, and some of them held together much better than their Lego counterparts. The main thing with the Sawtooth though, is that there is a LOT of weight on the front end, and the elbow joints are too weak to support it. I reached out to support to see if they had any tips and they were very quick (within 24 hours!) with a suggested pose, which fixed that issue for me! :)
Most Surprising Thing
How detailed and proportionate everything was to the machine in-game!

Rework the front legs to allow them to support the body.
Thunderjaw
very lovely build a tiny bit frustrating as parts fell of as i attached other parts to the body, i feel its the nature of these bricks, other wise he is super fun to build and had a fun time seeing him come together. I LOVE all the moving parts to him as well, along with the attention to detail including his heart and other items

he surprisingly heavy, but other wise will put together and thought out

some of the instruction on where to put some parts could be shown differently i feel to make it be understood better
Nice little build
I really enjoyed building it. A good simple build to break up the more complex builds included in the set. Stands really good on it's own (I had questions when I saw the feet were tiny) and is pretty detailed for such a small scale.

Ready for the Hunt
Had fun building this one as I have the office Lego version and the details on this are so much better. It would be nice if there were a couple more anchor points for the neck parts, but otherwise very happy with this build.
Challenging but fun

Nice way to start off the building journey. The pieces fit nicely together and feel like genuine Lego bricks. Can't wait to make a herd of them!

How nicely it came together. I've done other small builds and a lot of them have fallen apart when trying to put them together.
Fun little build to warm me up for the big ones in the Creator Set. Excellent brick quality and instructions.

Tricky Build with Awesome Outcome
Tricky Build. Parts that are attached to just a single stud keep falling off. Adjusting the legs and so on also takes a bit of fiddling around, especially with several parts having come loose. But all in all, it’s a really cool model that looks great. I built the set using Lego bricks, as the Complete Edition doesn’t include enough bricks for the Specter and it’s going to take over a month to arrive anyway.

Grazer dwarfs Lego Sawtooth
The Grazer was a very simple build with easy to follow instructions and came out looking amazing. He is suppose to be tiny in this set and he looks massive next to my official LEGO horizon builds. Can’t wait to start my tallneck!
